About this listen

A hugely compelling, dark, offbeat adventure from the best-selling author of Rotherweird.

The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life—plants, animals and most of humanity, too.

Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane's Tempestas or Lord Sine's Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind's future. A long period of uneasy collaboration between them is about to end.

Far from these centres of power stands the Museum Dome, where persons unknown have assembled mankind's finest paintings and artefacts and installed a young man, Fogg, as its curator. Here he has laboured for three years without a single visitor and with only AIPT, his automated physical trainer, for company.

Then a single mysterious pill—a momenticon—appears in the museum and triggers a series of bewildering events, embroiling Fogg and his unexpected new companions in a desperate fight against the dark forces which threaten to overwhelm all that remains.

And time is running out.

Interesting storyline and easier to follow than the earlier series. Kept me listening as I wanted to know where we were going next. Some stand out characters as per usual with the author. Have purchased the 2nd book.

Another amazing creation, wonderfully drawn characters in brilliant worlds. Achingly sad, bizarre and witty in equal measure. If you liked the Rotherweird series you will love this. If you haven’t read them then I urge you to try this one anyway, it’s brilliant!

Brilliant brilliant!

I have read the Rotherweird series and decided I would try this when I was looking for a new audiobook.
Being completely honest, I find the pace of this book awkward for an audiobook, things move quickly and unlike reading, your attention is often split when listening. I find myself rewinding quite a lot and think I'd prefer to read this series than listen. Though I'm often amused by the voices the narrators use, I can't always keep track of who is speaking in this audiobook. I'm not sure if there are more characters or whether ones with similar voices are meeting.
Despite that, I'm intrigued by it and have a little way to go before finishing. I will look for the sequel in a text format.

Challenging as an audiobook

Truly, one of the best things I’ve listened to in ages, well read fast moving and at times incredibly weird.

Weirdly wonderful

Where to start?

Typical of Andrew Caldecott's style and brilliantly so.

Where Rotherweird looks back in time, Momenticom fast forwards us into dystopian fantasy land.

Full of humour, sadness, heroes and wonderfully written characters .

Hooked from the out set, Caught out by the arrival of the ending.

So... we need the sequel.

Bravo Mr Caldecott
